Dumas loved 10 laugh at the expense Of
English stiffness and reserve. One Of his
best stories was this: One day Victor
Hugo and l were invited TO dine with the
Duke Of DecaZes. Among the guests
were Lord and Lady Palmerston-of
course this happened before the February
revolution. At midnight tea was handed
around. Victor Hugo and l were sitting
side by side, chatting merrily. Lord and
Lady Palmerston had arrived very late
aud there had consequently been no oppor-
tuuiiy TO introduce US before dinner; after
dinner 1t seems il was forgotten. English
custom. consequently, did not allow us To
be addressed by the illustrious couple. All
at once young Decazes comes up to us and
SAYS: My dear Dumas, Lord Palmerston
begs you will leave chair free between
you and Victor Hugo"
l FASTENED 10 do as be wished We
moved away from each other and placed
an empty chair between US. Tbereupon
enters Lord Palmerston. holding the hand
of his wife, leads her up 10 us and invites
her to sit down on the empty chair-all
this without saying word. My lady,"
he said TO his wife, what time have youi"
She looked at her watch and answered.:
Thirty five past twelve" Well. then,"
said the great minister, remember well
that this day, at thirty five minutes past
twelve, you were sitting between Alexan-
der Dumas and Victor Hugo, an honor
which you probably never will enjoy again
in your lifetime" Then he offered his
arm again TO his wife and took her back
TO her seat without saying a word to us
because we had not been presented Cor.

Pap Singleton says, in his long
lived experience, that the ''Colored
United Links" are one of the best
societies ever thought of or put in
existence by man, and since they
have had little back set, which is
all we'll, they have had ample time
to consider. "Pap" says in organic
ing the "United Links" the hand Of
the "Lord" must Of been upon hin.
He believes he was instructed by the
Spirit Of the "Lord'' to cali his
people together to unite them from
their divided condition. He says he
can't see where his people can be
,ccessful, without uniting as al
other nationalities, and the day il
past and gone and the time WI
come when the Caucasian will droI
